altcineAction!, unique in its kind, is the first Online Short Film Festival for Balkan Filmmakers.
Organized by altcine, the web platform dedicated to Balkan Cinema, and under the patronage of Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports and the Creative Europe Media Programme, altcineAction! is open to every young filmmaker from Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo*, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey, to exhibit their work to the entire planet and win great awards for their next production.
What makes altcineAction! even more unique, is that the international audience is the one that with its votes and critiques highlights the Festival's first three winners!
With altcineAction!, any web surfer will be able to have free access to films from the Balkan Peninsula, connect in a direct and playful way with the creative young professionals, while the region’s young directors will have the opportunity to find mentoring and support by top companies and Institutions of the Balkans for their films and studies.
So far, during the last 3 years of its activities, altcineAction! has brought together 145 films from 13 Balkan countries in its online library and counts more than 6200 registered users, while continuing to offer great prizes, sponsored by top companies and institutions in the audiovisual sector. The festival aids film production and co-production in the Balkans by putting the spotlight on the next generation of directors, while at the same time transforming young audio-visual literate surfers into engaged audiences and creating sustainable communities.
